    Hi,

    Deadlock is a state in which 2 processes together are awaiting for too long on each other to do something (or to complete).

    Deadlock most commonly occurs in multi-tasking applications and in client/server environments.

    A program or the operating system that are deadlocked usually has ability to resolve the deadlock but it may not always happen.
